Top Secret Papers Reveal Oswald Was CIA Agent

stating, 'I'm ready to come home now; give me my
passport.' "
Oswald got his passport but it would still be more than a
year before he returned to the United States. The problem
was Marina, his Russian wife, who had to go through considerable
red tape before being allowed to emigrate.
For most of the three years that ()Nvald lived in the Soviet
Union, he worked at the radio-electronics plant in Minsk.
How a former U.S. Marine got such a sensitive job has
never been explained. However Mae Brussell has some
theories.
Oswald's co-employee and best friend in Minsk was a man
named 'Alexander Ziger, who may also have been a CIA spy.
It was through Ziger and his wife that Oswald met Marina,
and when Oswald returned to the United States he brought
some secret letters from his friend which,'Miss Brussell
believes, were turned over to the CIA.
The Zigers had two daughters, born in Argentina, who
wanted to leave Russia and return to that South American
country.
Miss Brussell has a copy of a document which shows that
Allen DulleS, former_CIA director and a member of the
Warren Commission, attempted to arrange for the two girls
—to leave Russia and go to Argentina.
Quite simply, she believes, Oswald's job in Minsk was
arranged for him by CIA agents in the U.S. Embassy and CIA
agent Ziger. As part of the deal, the CIA was to get Ziger's
daughters out of the country._
Further evidence that Oswald worked as a spy in the
Soviet Union comes from CBS correspondent Daniel
Schori-, who in June, 1975, interviewed a formerCIA official
who saw memos in 1962 describing an American "re-defector."
According to the CIA official, the re-defector was described
as an ex-Marine who had defected to Russia,
worked in a radio factory in Minsk and then re-defected to
the United States in 1962. This is an exact account of
Oswald's defection story.
The CIA man told the CBS reporter that the memo dealt
"mainly with intelligence on the Minsk radio factqry."
_ The CIA admitted that such a memo existed, but the
agency said it pertained to a former Navy officer, not a
`former Marine, named Oswald. -
Daniel Schorr checked with Navy officials who stated
that they "found no record of such a Man."
Mae Brussell believes that Oswald was sent to the USSR by
the CIA for the sole purpose of ruining relations between the
U.S. and the Soviets.
She further believes that the CIA, acting independently of
the American government, has created a "red herring" of
;:this sort every time detente with the Communists seems
possible.
The U-2 spy plane was brought down on May 1, 1960.0n
May 16, President Eisenhower was scheduled to meet with
Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev in Paris. The meeting
was called off as a result of the U-2 incident.
Miss Brussell believes that now the "sudden appearance"
of new evidence connecting JFK's assassination to
Fidel Castro is another of these diversionary tactics designed
to destroy detente.
She points out how "coincidental" it is that these documents
have turned up just as America's relations with Cuba
and the Soviets seemed to be improving.
And she further believes that right wing elements in the
CIA were responsible for the assassination of President

Kennedy in •1963.
"The CIA had a better motive for killing the President than
C,astro," she told MIDNIGHT. "For one thing, JFK wanted
the CIA broken and torn apart. He said after the. Bay of Pigs,
`there's a hidden government behind Amy back.' -
"He assigned Robert Kennedy the task'of investigating the
. CIA and he fired Allen Dulles and a long list of top people.
"He embarrassed men like E. Howard Hunt, who had
worked with Dulles since the beginning of the CIA and who
had planned the Bay of Pigs attack on Cuba."
What was Oswald's role in the assassination and why WAS,..
he picked?
Mae Brussell contends that Oswald was a "patsy" set up by
the CIA to take the blame for John F. Kennedy's murder.
That someone else actually fired the fatal shots.
"In this way the CIA accomplished two things at the same
time," she says. They eliminated Oswald and the President.
Oswald's "cover" had been blown when his mother told
everyone within earshot in Washington that her son was
working for-the CIA in Russia. And more than that, Lee
Harvey Oswald, Miss Brussell says, knew too much.
He knew the truth of "how" and "why" Francis Gary
Powers' U-2 spy plane was shot down over Russia.
The plan, Mae Brussell says, worked perfectly. Lee
Harvey Oswald was silenced forever, and President JohnE.
Kennedy was assassinated.
